How to play "Cannonball - Damien Rice"

[GodriffBangor]

This is a fantastic video, Thank you for your time. Your fingering is clear and viable (something lots people can't do) The only thing that would improve this is a split screen of your right hand. This is a complement. I'd love to see the split screen but If that's not possible keep doing what you do i love it. Thanks again.

[TheBIGegg]

well done... thanks

[19SHIMTER25]

nice boobs heheheheh

[stefharder]

Astig brod.

[pakwanboy]

I saw a vid when damien played it with the capo on a different fret...it kinda confused me a bit but oh well...very very nice! tnx alot!

[zorazolia]

AWESOME

[misterCarl123]

check out this cover: cannonball by natty german... nice vid

[IuriDov]

I want know u!!!

Is Most beautiful

[WannaBand]

Wow, thanks a lot :)

[ravyna95]

What's the key? c major?

[iggysoccer20]

In this vid its G minor.

[cybervaldez]

Thank you, you're awesome for teaching people this instead of just playing it :) some of us are not too good with just looking. thanks for inspiring us.

[FreakyDroid92]

im glad i helped :)

[fantasurfer]

hey can you send me tabs and chords too?? would be really nice thanks =))

[Sxyang1]

can you send me chords and tabs i would highly appreciate it thanks

[FreakyDroid92]

the reason i put up this vid was because i dont got the tabs. Chords are on the "more info" part

[bloblo112]

if you want tabs you can go on ultimate guitar

[Mouthpart1]

thanks for giving me a few tips. i can now play the song better than b4. :P

[dogsbollox5]

Great. Guitar has lovely tone.

[ichiroArod]

Hi! Do you think you can send me the tab? Your exactly right on.

[FreakyDroid92]

i would if i had them. Thats why i made this video because so many people wanted the tabs but i didnt have them, so i thought you guys could just watch what i did :P

[Rachiebobs]

Whats the finger picking pattern? Or are you strumming... Sorry, im still kinda new to guitar. :)

[FreakyDroid92]

im actually strumming. What strings im strumming varies from time to time :P Just strum the strings that sound good. i would say the stum pattern but i think its best for you to find your own.

[phototecglobal]

Well done on the arrangement, just to note your G/Em 200233 is Dsus4 with an F# Base note, don't forget to mute the A string at the same time, but again well done!

[jenikins]

i love how this song sounds when your playing it lower.

[beccatsn]

what the hell are you talking about? it says chords used...but your not using them chords and you miss some out

[eamsy89]

yes she is.they are just the basic chords that the song is based around.obviously the song isnt made up of just those chords but variations of them

[jizzoi]

that was awesome!! im a beginner..what does the number after the letter(chord) mean?(on the top right)

[FreakyDroid92]

well, ok so imagine that the first number is the low E string and the second number is the A and third number is the D ect. It simply show you on which fret to put your finger and on what string.

Take the G chord for instance: 320033

Here you see the first number (3) meaning your finger goes on the 3rd fret low E string. Your other finger goes on the 2nd fret on the A string ect.

i hope you get what i meant :)

[pinwiicore]

honey could you please tell me where the capo goes?

very well playing!

congratulations D:

[FreakyDroid92]

yeah, um. On this tutorial i had it on the 3rd but its normally on the 6th fret :)

And thanks ^^

[mongooseblackdiamond]

this is a tune

[FrankySmit91]

thank you very much!

i think it's easier to see what you are doing now instead of saying where to put your fingers. whatch the vid a couple of times and there you go!

[IrelandRobbie]

ok that was mental playing :) well done

[thorcyar]

very good ! but ... (there is always a but) ... the cords you put in the info are not (or not all)the ones you play :/ your first chord seems to be a x250xx that i don't see in the info box.

[atdiglol]

That's cause the intro is strummed x250xx times 3 then x240xx and then x032xx Then 030xx, Hammer on so it becomes 032xx, Then 30xxxx, hammer on so it's 32xxxx. That's pretty much the intro at least :P

[sxftdp]

not that informative but very well played!

[93spud]

this is amazing, that your actually making the effort to teach people this =)

and you play it amazing aswell.

wow. :)

[lofty25]

i play this the same way but with a little less distinction between notes. the live versions are played on two guitars and i havent seen any better arrangements for solo guitar and voice than this one, nice one!

[londontrialscat]

I have asked for a guitar for xmas and will be trying this song.

Real good stuff!!!

[klarolivia]

Oh my God :) You're good :)

[bhuotari]

wallopper ... watch damien rice live or any of his acoustic videos and he plays it different than the recording... it does injustice to this beautiful piece to play it incorrectly.. if you would like i could show u how to play it .. ps capo must be on the

6th fret to get perfect sound

[FreakyDroid92]

if you read the "info" part i've written about the capo and fret settings. I played it on the 3rd fret there because its much easier for you guys to see better :)

[unknownuser1223]

Correct way? the only way to play this and any other song is how ever way you want to. I dont want people telling my way of playing somthing is incorrect just because I choose th play it differantly from the original artist. Rather then copy tabs note for note you need to fully understand music and how it works, then when you use someone elses music as a guide you expand, create and put you own spin on it, rather then repeating what Damien played. A monkey can copy.

[SparcoSaver]

bhuotari, you probably smell like beef. So, my advice to you would be to worry about that smell before you worry about a very talented individual doing her best to share her love of music with others. FreakyDroid92, you rock.

[GeorgeP1066]

well if you thinks this is wrong could you please inform us how it should be. e.g. tabs, video.

[adam292]

wheres the capo D:

[FreakyDroid92]

what you mean where is the capo? on the video its on the third fret but its supposed to be on the 6th :)

[bhuotari]

dont teach people to play this... this isnt the correct way to play it ....

[wallopper]

Dude your dumb "not the correct way" you spanner!! In the real thing there two guitars so any possible way anyone plays it there will be a slight diffrence!!!!!!!

[RockOutBettie]

This is great! one thing though, what's the strumming pattern on this?

[jp2020mc]

Thank you for the slow play...big help with the transitions.

Owe you 1

[TimJuPe]

Here you can see - even much more comlicated as original ... it's possible!!!

[garyclow06]

too true the song is a lovely strumalong no need to make it this complicated

[kinstar]

i kno trying to learn how to play this song is going to piss me off so bad but once i learn it.. its gonna sound kool

[kassandrasuar]

[xomaryjane]

[kinstar]

[esie32]

[brijo73]

I was questioning the use of it.

[brijo73]

capo?

[FreakyDroid92]

capo should be on the 6th fret :) its the black thingy i have on my guitar:P

[ingpakito]

you should get a better webcam... :D make it sound the song bad... but you nail the song... keep the good work =)

[FreakyDroid92]

actually this wasnt my webcam:P i used my camera. I know the sound sucks on it:P and i wasnt using a pick so thats probably the reason too..but im buying a video camera soon:D and thanks:)

[volcanoesmeltyoudown]

[FreakyDroid92]

its not really that hard ;)

[aidan106]

[guitarockr]

[jeffspicoli101]

Very nice! Didn't take long to learn thanks to you....:)

[FreakyDroid92]

im really glad to hear that :D

[thekaitch73]

How long did it take you to learn this song? Just curious.

[FreakyDroid92]

hmm..2-3 hours maybe : )

[thekaitch73]

wow. it's been three days and i've almost got half the intro. you rock!

[FreakyDroid92]

hehe :P when you got the intro you basically almost got the hole song ;) the Chorus is really simple : )

[tobsen11]

[sharkkenan]

[RuebenCarlos]

I think it's a girl too, well she got the tune... :)

[bhuotari]

way wrong chords guy

[bobshopsupreme]

i think it's a girl...

[FreakyDroid92]

yup, im a girl:P

[zleeeee]

90bsides I'd like to see your posted video about it! lol

jagobs played this way to show the passages

slow tempo, to let others learn

[Aresend]

awesome playing! thanks alot cause this helped alot...thank you very very much ^^

[90bsides]

you should learn how to do it before you teach others lol

[JagoBS]

If it didn't help you, then it it's your problem, don't be such a hater.!

[pdaoust]

If you're referring to the fact that she did it slowly, and kept stopping, it's because she wanted to allow people to see her fingering. If you look through her videos, you can see her playing it quite impressively at full-speed.

[sotgenerao]

tnx!

[hartjohnjoseph06]

can you message me the tabs for this song, it sounds really good! id appreciate it

[FreakyDroid92]

im sorry, but i don't have any tabs for it..thats why i put a "how to" for it;)

[eyessbright]

this helped a lot

[FreakyDroid92]

im glad that i could help;)

[tonzjsl]

thaank you so much, I didn't really get what you did at first, cause I'm retarded (haha) .

But I really wanted to learn, so I guess practise makes perfect. I'm faaaar away from perfect but now I actually get what you're playing :D

[JesseGuitar07]
